A.Word.A.Day--Mae West

[After Mae West 1892?-1980, American actress known for her sultry stage
persona, (from its resemblance to her curvaceous torso).]

"Now with all of us bulging out of our Mae Wests, a Richter scale
applied to anxiety would have registered eight or a full-scale
breakdown."

Review, 1 May 1994.
